Цель исследования - изучение антибактериальной активности гранулированных углеродных сорбентов по отношению к патогенной микрофлоре в условиях различной продолжительности контакта с сорбентом. Методика. Исследовали антибактериальные свойства гранулированного сорбента ВНИИТУ-1, обработанного гидромеханически, окисленного и стабилизированного до нормативных значений рН и модифицированного поли-N-винилпирролидоном (ПВП) ВНИИТУ-1 по отношению к патогенным микроорганизмам: Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus agalactiae, а также к их смесям. Все микроорганизмы представляли собой клинические штаммы, выделенные из ран пациентов. Предварительно тест-микроорганизмы были исследованы на чувствительность к современным антибиотикам. Опытным путем подбирали такие разведения и количество засеваемого материала, чтобы выросшие на чашке Петри колонии можно было сосчитать. Бактерии сорбировали из физиологического раствора с концентрацией микробных клеток 3 х 10 колониеобразующих единиц в 1 мл исследуемой пробы (КОЕ/мл). В пробирку типа Эппендорф вносили сорбент в количестве 0,5 мл, добавляли 1 мл микробной взвеси, встряхивали для удаления пузырьков воздуха и выдерживали в термостате в течение 1, 3, 6 и 24 ч. По истечении заданного времени контакта сорбента с патогенной микрофлорой отбирали надосадочную жидкость в объеме 100 мкл, засевали на стерильные агаровые пластины чашек Петри с питательной средой ГМФ-агар. Засеянные чашки Петри помещали в СО-инкубатор 15АС (Япония) вверх дном и инкубировали при температуре 37 ± 1°С в течение 24 ± 2 ч. При подсчете колоний, выросших на чашке Петри, учитывали только те чашки, на которых выросло более 300 изолированных колоний. Результаты. Гранулированный сорбент ВНИИТУ-1 обладает антибактериальным действием в отношении как грамположительных, так и грамотрицательных бактерий, а также их смеси. Сроки проявления антибактериального эффекта сорбента зависят от вида микроорганизмов и времени их контакта с образцом. Присутствие в составе сорбента модификатора ПВП усиливает его антибактериальные свойства. Полимермодифицированный образец обладает пролонгированным антибактериальным эффектом в отношении широкого спектра микроорганизмов (E. coli, St. aureus, P. aeruginosae и St. aureus) и смеси их культур. Заключение. Показана возможность повышения антибактериальных свойств гранулированных углеродных сорбентов по отношению к патогенной микрофлоре путем их модификации поли-N-винилпирролидоном. Дальнейшая разработка и применение углеродных сорбентов как средств сорбционной терапии является перспективным подходом к местному лечению гнойных ран. The purpose: Study the antibacterial activity of granulated carbon sorbents in relation to the pathogenic microflora under the conditions of different period of contact with sorbent. Methods. It has been investigated the antibacterial properties of VNIITU-1 granulated sorbent, which was hydromechanically treated, oxidized and stabilized up to pH standard parameters and VNIITU-1 modified poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone (PVP) against the pathogenic micro-organisms, including Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus agalactiae, and their mixes. All bacteria were clinical strains derived from the wounds of patients. Dilutions and amount of inoculated material were experimentally selected for further calculation of the grown colonies on the Petri dish. Bacteria were sorbed from the saline solution with bacteria concentration of 3 х 10 of the colony forming units in 1 ml of test sample (CFU/ ml). Eppendorf tube was added the sorbent 0.5 ml and bacterial suspension 1 ml; then the tube was shaken to remove the air bubbles and incubated for 1, 3, 6 and 24 hr. Upon the expiry of the target time for sorbent with pathogenic flora contact the supernatant fluid was collected in 100 ul and inoculated on the sterile agar plates of the Petri dishes with GMF agar nutrient medium. Inoculated Petri dishes were placed upside down in СО incubator 15AC (Japan) and incubated at 37 ± 1°C for 24 ± 2 hours. When counting the colonies growing on the Petri dish, they took into consideration only the dishes where more than 300 isolated colonies were grown. If more than 300 colonies were grown, «> 3x102 CFU/ml» was recorded in the protocol. Results. Granulated sorbent VNIITU-1 has an antibacterial effect against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and their mixes. Time period for manifestations of the sorbent antibacterial effect depends on the type of microorganisms and time of contact. PVP presence in sorbent composition enhances the antibacterial effect of the sorbent. Resin-modified sample has a prolonged antibacterial effect against a broad spectrum of microorganisms (E. coli, St. aureus, P. aeruginosae and St. aureus) and mixtures of their cultures. Conclusion. It has been determined the possibility for increasing of antibacterial properties of granulated carbon sorbents against the pathogenic microflora by their modification with poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone. Further development and application of carbon sorbents as the means for sorption therapy is a perspective approach for the local treatment of purulent wounds.

ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi are fungi that live in plant tissues and do not harm these plants. Endophytic fungi can produce compounds that have the potential as antibacterial. This study aimed to examine the antibacterial effects of endophytic fungi isolated from the lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria. Lemongrass is used to inhibit or kill pathogenic bacteria because it contains essential oils that function as an antifungal and antibacterial against several pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The laboratory experiment method tested the antibacterial activity of endophytic fungi isolates obtained from lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli using hole / well method. From the results of the study, four endophytic fungi were isolated from the roots and leaves of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus). Antibacterial results showed that endophytic fungi extract isolated from lemongrass plants was more effective in inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus compared to Escherichia coli bacteria. In Staphylococcus aureus bacteria the average inhibitory value is 5-9 mm while in Escherichia coli bacteria the average inhibitory value is only 3 mm. Endophytic fungi from lemongrass roots have a better antibacterial effect compared to endophytic fungi from lemongrass leaves. Conclusion, endophytic fungi isolated from the roots and leaves of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) have an antibacterial effect on the growth of S. aureus bacteria and are not effective against E. coli bacteria. This endophytic fungus isolate is more active against Gram positive (+) bacteria and less active against Gram negative (-) bacteria. Keywords: Lemongrass plants, Endophytic Fungi, Antibacterial Activity, Staphylococcus aureus,  Escherichia coli. ABSTRAK Jamur endofit ialah jamur yang hidup di dalam jaringan tumbuhan dan tidak membahayakan tumbuhan tersebut.

Background: [1, 3, 4]oxadiazolenone core containing chalcones and nucleosides were synthesized by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of a variety of benzaldehyde derivatives, obtained from oxidation of substituted 5-(3/6 substituted-4-Methylphenyl)-1, 3, 4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-one and various substituted acetophenone. The resultant chalcones were coupled with penta-O-acetylglucopyranose followed by deacetylation to get [1, 3, 4] oxadiazolenone core containing chalcones and nucleosides. Various analytical techniques viz IR, NMR, LC-MS and elemental analysis were used to confirm the structure of the synthesised compounds.The compounds were targeted against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli for antibacterial activity and Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger and Fusarium oxysporum for antifungal activity. Methods: A mixture of Acid hydrazides (3.0 mmol) and N, Nʹ- carbonyl diimidazole (3.3 mmol) in 15 mL of dioxane was refluxed to afford substituted [1, 3, 4]-oxadiazole-2(3H)-one. The resulted [1, 3, 4]- oxadiazole-2(3H)-one (1.42 mmol) was oxidized with Chromyl chloride (1.5 mL) in 20 mL of carbon tetra chloride and condensed with acetophenones (1.42 mmol) to get chalcones 4. The equimolar ratio of obtained chalcones 4 and β -D-1,2,3,4,6- penta-O-acetylglucopyranose in presence of iodine was refluxed to get nucleosides 5. The [1, 3, 4] oxadiazolenone core containing chalcones 4 and nucleosides 5 were tested to determined minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value with the experimental procedure of Benson using disc-diffusion method. All compounds were tested at concentration of 5 mg/mL, 2.5 mg/mL, 1.25 mg/mL, 0.62 mg/mL, 0.31 mg/mL and 0.15 mg/mL for antifungal activity against three strains of pathogenic fungi Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus), Aspergillus niger (A. niger) and Fusarium oxysporum (F. oxysporum) and for antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacterium: Escherichia coli (E. coli), and two Gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Bacillus subtilis(B. subtilis). Result: The chalcones 4 and nucleosides 5 were screened for antibacterial activity against E. coli, S. aureus and B. subtilis whereas antifungal activity against A. flavus, A. niger and F. oxysporum. Compounds 4a-t showed good antibacterial activity whereas compounds 5a-t containing glucose moiety showed better activity against fungi. The glucose moiety of compounds 5 helps to enter into the cell wall of fungi and control the cell growth. Conclusion: Chalcones 4 and nucleosides 5 incorporating [1, 3, 4] oxadiazolenone core were synthesized and characterized by various spectral techniques and elemental analysis. These compounds were evaluated for their antifungal activity against three fungi; viz. A. flavus, A. niger and F. oxysporum. In addition to this, synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against gram negative bacteria E. Coli and gram positive bacteria S. aureus, B. subtilis. Compounds 4a-t showed good antibacterial activity whereas 5a-t showed better activity against fungi.

The antibacterial activity of geraniol and its effect in combination with ampicillin, amoxicillin and clarithromycin against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Helicobacter pylori was tested. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and combinatory effects of geraniol against the bacteria were assessed by using the modified broth microdilution and checkerboard assay, respectively. The combinatory effect is expressed as fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI). The MIC of geraniol against S. aureus, E. coli and H. pylori was found to be 11200, 5600, and 7325 μg/mL, respectively. A significant synergistic effect was observed with geraniol and ampicillin against S. aureus with FICI in the range 0.19 to 0.32. Geraniol and ampicillin exhibited a partial synergistic effect against E. coli. A similar effect was observed with geraniol and clarithromycin against S. aureus. A partial synergistic effect was observed with clarithromycin and geraniol against H. pylori with the FICI value in the range 0.86 to 0.89. An additive effect was observed with geraniol and amoxicillin combination against H. pylori. However, the amoxicillin and clarithromycin dose was reduced by thirty-two fold when combined with geraniol against H. pylori. The anti- H. pylori effect of geraniol with clarithromycin and amoxicillin could be of potential interest in the treatment of H. pylori infection and associated ulcers in humans. Further, geraniol, in combination with other antibiotics, has substantial therapeutic potential against S. aureus and E.coli infection.
